Why are older people gullible to be deceived?

How gullible is it?

First of all, it is the lack of ability of the elderly to obtain information and knowledge. In today's rapid economic and social development, knowledge and information are updated too quickly, the elderly usually have fewer opportunities to obtain information at home than young people, and now the information carrier has also changed greatly, from the original newspaper, television, to mobile phones, short **. Many older people are not yet accustomed to new channels such as mobile phones to obtain information.

As a result, information asymmetry is generated, which gives the best opportunity to take advantage of.

Second, young people nowadays have a lot of work pressure, so they have little time to accompany the elderly, most of the elderly are alone for a long time, feel very lonely, and often wear a mask of hypocrisy to approach the elderly, so that the elderly can quickly generate trust.

Third, financial insecurity makes it easy for the elderly to be confused by high returns. In the name of investment and financial management and pension services, some lawbreakers fabricate all kinds of investment projects, and use high interest, high returns, and low risks as bait to illegally raise funds, and some elderly people have even been deceived of the "coffin book".

Fourth, the elderly's yearning for health. **Taking advantage of the elderly to seek health, using the names of "free physical examination" and "free consultation" to defraud the elderly of their money. In fact, this is all carefully designed**, they first use small gifts to attract the elderly to participate in the event, and then play the warm card, establish a relationship with the elderly, take the medical history of the elderly, and then invite a pseudonymous doctor to give a speech or ask the so-called expert consultation, the last step is to sell the "three no" health products.

Fifth, a lot took advantage of his psychological weakness, that is, self-righteousness, and some stubbornness. Many elderly people with this personality are easily deceived.

Sixth, it is easy to trust people. Many seniors treat strangers with a completely face-to-face attitude – as long as the other person seems reliable, the older person will always believe it. A very important condition for whether the elderly trust you is whether you have a trustworthy face.

So, I took advantage of this vulnerability and succeeded.

Because when the elderly are older, and their children are not around, there will be a lot of ** at this time, that is, to ask the elderly for warmth, and then let the elderly feel a sense of home and gain the trust of the elderly, so what they say, the elderly may believe something, so it is easy to be deceived.

The reason why older people are more susceptible to deception is that after their old age, their children are rarely around. They lack a sense of security, and it is easy to deceive them into trusting them when someone shuts them out.

Some older people are a little more feudal, because they believed in feudalism when they were older generations.

The elderly are inexperienced in society and are easily deceived, so please take good care of them.

There are several reasons why older people are susceptible to scams:

1.Physiological changes: As older people age, their physical and mental functions such as cognitive ability and judgment are affected, and memory loss and inattention can make them more susceptible to deception.

2.Social network shortage: Older people face social network tensions due to retirement, the death of a partner, or the departure of a loved one. This gives those with scam intent an ideal space to penetrate.

3.Cultural differences: Some elderly people come from rural areas and may be confused about new things, or they may not be used to using various electronic devices, they do not know how to transact through the Internet, and they cannot effectively protect their property.

4.Financial stress: Income may be relatively low after retirement, and social stress or occupational dysfunction, such as loss of independence or health problems, can further weaken financial well-being. Scammers can exploit this weakness by offering them seemingly cost-effective services or products.

In short, understanding the above factors, avoiding going it alone, and contacting family members or relatives and friends regularly can help seniors avoid financial losses. In addition, they must think and evaluate before doing business, they always pay attention to the security of personal information and bank accounts, and protect their rights and interests in any case.

Every year, there are a large number of cases of the elderly being deceived by buying health care products, the elderly will go crazy to buy all kinds of health care products, the cheap ones will cost hundreds of yuan, and the expensive ones will cost tens of thousands of yuan, even if their children persuade them, the elderly are going to participate in various health lectures, and then run members, buy a lot of health care products, spend tens of thousands of yuan and find that there is no effect, and the body will still have problems, and even some elderly people will go to the hospital to check and find that their health is worse after eating health care products, which is caused by some health care products. I slowly felt that I had been deceived. The ** of health care products is not only to deceive the elderly to buy health care products, but also to fool the elderly to pull the elderly around them in, everyone to form a so-called health care family, and then fund, and then expand the family, which can be said to be exactly the same as the routine of pyramid schemes. Many elderly people were deceived into returning with nothing left, breaking with their children, and still not sober in the end.

These deceived elderly people also have a very low IQ and do not suffer from Alzheimer's disease, so why are they still deceived? There are three main reasons for this:

1. Merchants sell health anxiety.

Nowadays, medical care is very advanced, but there are still many diseases that cannot be treated. People are also starting to pay attention to their health, so they will find ways to live a much longer life. The elderly are reluctant to go to the hospital**, because the medical expenses are too expensive, and if they really go to the hospital, their health may not be good, so when they are fifty or sixty years old, they are very concerned about how many years they can live and how to maintain their health.

Merchants see this, and then sell the health anxiety of the elderly very seriously, they often go to the community to publicize what kind of diseases the elderly will get, and these diseases are difficult to treat, and will seriously affect the life expectancy, how much to spend and so on, in order to let the elderly hurry up to take care of themselves, and then they launch their own products by the way.

2. Being pulled by acquaintances.

When interviewed, some of the elderly who were deceived said that they did not believe in many health products, thinking that those things were useless after eating, and it was better to eat and exercise. However, because the manuscript brothers and acquaintances around them bought health care products one by one, and found that they were all quite healthy in a short period of time, they also bought them, and then they went into the pit.

3. I felt love and warmth from the merchants.

Many elderly people are elderly people who live alone, their wives have passed away, and their children have gone to the big city to work hard, and they are lonely and hungry, and they have no friends in the city, so they feel very lonely. When they learn that there is a health supplement family around them, where people often meet, chat together, share stories, encourage each other, etc., they feel warm, so they will trust the business as if it were family, and then they voluntarily buy health supplements.

1. The elderly are easy to trust people. Whether it is the character of the times created by the current life era of the elderly, or the overflow of sympathy caused by the current old people who are easy to shout together when they are old, etc., the elderly are easy to believe in people, and under the strong offensive of various health concepts and various examples vigorously launched by salesmen, the elderly are often easily deceived, and finally pay for health and to help others. 2. Lack of emotionMost of the elderly who are easy to buy health care products have emotional loss.

This lack of emotion is not that Zheng Qiao's old man has no family around him, on the contrary, most of them are old people who live with their families, but this lack of emotion is often because there is no common language and people who can communicate. Once the elderly meet a person who identifies with the elderly and respects the elderly, the emotions of the elderly are vented and soothed, and the purchase of health care products has become a way of disguised returns. 3. It is true that the elderly do not understand, some old people really don't understand, but some old people have knowledge and experience, plus they watch rule of law programs every day, it is really not that they don't understand, on the one hand, because they have related diseases, suffer from diseases, and go to the doctor when they are sick, thinking about what if it works.

One is the luck mentality, in the face of various professional reports presented by salesmen, I feel that it is someone else who is fooled, and it cannot be myself. 4. There is another kind of intention of the elderly, which is that the elderly are dissatisfied with life or their families, and they have saved up a lifetime of family business, and their children often do not recognize themselves and do not respect themselves; Some people also feel that Lao Tzu has worked hard all his life, why should my children come to me with a lot of money. So if you want to enjoy it, you can enjoy it, and you might as well enjoy it yourself if you work hard all your life.

So I just consume it according to my heart.

As people's quality of life is getting better and better, more people like to travel and vacation in their spare time, on the one hand, they can enjoy the magnificent mountains and rivers of the motherland, and on the other hand, they can relax their minds and release pressure. Nowadays, the crowd of tourists is not only young, but also more elderly people are starting to go out of their homes and embark on journeys. As a result, the vast majority of travel agencies have launched "sunset red" tours that specialize in the elderly.

However, after participating in this "sunset red" tour group, many elderly people have reported that the experience is not good, and they enter too many shopping stores. In fact, this phenomenon can also be imagined, the general "sunset red" tour group in the positioning, is to catch the majority of the elderly that kind of greedy and cheap psychology, so the ** set very low, often Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan 5-day tour is only a few hundred yuan, and even go abroad 6-day tour (including air tickets) is less than 1000 yuan, the purpose of the travel agency is to use this ultra-low cheap to attract the greedy elderly into the pit.

Another point is that because most of the elderly "health" consciousness is too strong, so the "sunset group" in the shopping stores that bring the elderly into is basically related to health care, they just grasp the psychology of the elderly to pay attention to health care, no lower limit to boast of the health care function of their products, the elderly themselves pay more attention to health, the root of the ear is soft and the sense of anti-fraud is relatively weak, it is easy to be fooled by the salesman, and then pay for those health care products that actually have no effect.

Finally, there is another point, we all know that many low-cost groups rely on tourists to shop to obtain profits, so they often adopt a "forced consumption" attitude towards tourists in the group, and do not leave if they do not shop. For most of the elderly, they often hold the psychology of "more is better than less", and adopt the attitude of "calming things down", and endure this dumb loss, and the travel agency is also looking at this, and will unscrupulously pit money elderly tourists.

In order to reduce the burden of their children, they choose low-cost tour groups, the elderly usually pay attention to health, and many travel agencies carry out pit meng under the banner of health preservation, and the elderly who have not been out do not know these and have no sense of anti-fraud.

Because most of the elderly encounter more and more traps in tourism, because of the lack of awareness of rights protection, the elderly often choose to swallow their anger afterwards. Cheap senior tour groups will force or induce the elderly to make purchases in the process of traveling, so that tour guides and travel agencies can get rebates from them.

Because of the lack of attention, many ** are much more intimate than their children, and there are not many channels to improve their cognition, and there are relatively high funds at their disposal, and if they want to live a long life, like the ancient kings, the wise Qin Shi Huang can't escape alchemy.

Because now there are endless methods of fraud, even young people who keep pace with the times may be deceived, let alone the elderly.
